Me 2.
The last love seat/couch combo we bought was $500.00. But that was cloth. This is overstuffed leather. She told me she'd seen the same set up here for around $6,500. Like that is supposed to make me feel better.
They went into one of the basement rooms she's been working on finishing. When we built this house I said, "You can have anything above the ground. Anything you want in any of those rooms. Just leave me the basement." That was okay with her she said. Of course, I made that deal knowing the best I could hope for was one room in the basement. Unfortunately she took the biggest room (has a big walk-in closet I was going to use as a bar - now it's going to be her sewing niche).
The room is painted salmon (read: pink) and now I've got these overpriced sticks of furniture in it. Thank God I've still got my basement office. Although I've been thinking of getting a "real job". If I do that, I suspect my office will be finished in fuscia. <sigh>

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
- Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
